Tomb Raiders

"It's not far from the main hall. If you speed up your pace, you should return..." Before Shen Liao could finish speaking, he was pulled by Chu Yuyang violently. Something brushed by his side. Bai Huanghuang's shadow, he took a breath and fell silent.

"I'm afraid it's too late. If we don't get rid of them, I'm afraid we won't be able to get to the entrance." Chu Yuyang narrowed his eyes, let go of Shen Liaobai's hand, and said softly, "You take the torch and walk ahead. After I'm done, go first." Let's talk at the Shark Lantern in front." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but stuff the torch into Shen Liaobai's hand, untied the silk thread connecting the last blade, pushed Shen Liaobai once, and urged: "Go!"

Shen Liaobai had no choice but to walk ahead, he didn't dare to stop, fearing that his hesitation would hinder Chu Yuyang.

Chu Yuyang turned his back to Shen Liaobai, he tore off the cloth on the front of his clothes, covered his mouth, nose and ears, moved his wrist, and the remaining blades shot out from his sleeves with the sound of the lock, and struck in the dark. After walking back and forth, he heard a few muffled noises, and he did not know how many human skin figurines had been pierced by him. The stems without human skin could not get close to the two people within the range of the fire. As long as the torch was not in serious trouble, they should be able to reach Shark lights.

Only two steps away from the Merman Lantern, Shen Liaobai was feeling relieved, when suddenly a cold breath came in front of him, and a figurine of human skin rushed straight at the torch in his hand, ignoring the heat of the torch.

Shen Liaobai reacted very quickly, and moved the torch slightly sideways, but the human skin figurine failed to pounce, but was slashed by Chu Yuyang's neck from behind, and the thin and dense tentacles fell out, and soon He curled up in the firelight and remained motionless.

After Chu Yuyang got rid of this one, he no longer maintained the strategy just now, but pulled Shen Liaobai past him, ran two steps forward, and the two rushed into the range of the Shark Lantern almost in a state of embarrassment.

Shen Liaobai was panting, but fortunately he always raised his wrist subconsciously, so there was nothing wrong with the torch.

He glanced at the merman lamp on the wall. The merman lamp in the tomb is opposite to each other. The merman oil will not burn out after thousands of years. It seems to be solidified, and the white wick extending to the bottom can be seen inside.

"Yangyang, can you pry off the lampshades of these two lamps?" Shen Liaobai stood up straight, staring intently at the exquisitely crafted merman lamps.

Chu Yuyang was stunned, and soon followed Shen Liaobai's words, and pried off the lampshades on both sides. Shen Liaobai looked carefully, estimated the weight of the oil in his heart, and put his own The idea was shared with Chu Yuyang.

"If the oil can be spread on the ground and ignited, it will be a line of defense. Even if those human skin figurines extinguish the flame regardless of their nature, they should be able to drag it out for a while."

Having said that, how to remove the lamp oil is a problem. The lamp holder is embedded in the stone bricks on the wall of the tomb passage, and the lamp holder itself is made of copper, so it may be difficult to remove it.

Chu Yuyang touched the lamp holder, and then took out a small bottle from his pocket. The bottle was very special, it was not pottery or porcelain, the body of the bottle was translucent, and the viscous and flowing liquid inside could be vaguely seen.

Chu Yuyang carefully opened the cork of the same material, and poured a little on the lamp holder. The moment the liquid dripped, there was a "stab" sound on the copper lamp, and the base of the lamp holder began to melt. After a while, the copper lamp It fell from the wall, and Chu Yuyang reached out and caught it firmly.

The other lamp was concocted in the same way, handing the two lamps to Shen Liaobai, Chu Yuyang carefully put away the small bottle, and said: "You wait here, I will find some fabrics." After saying that, he took a few steps forward into the darkness.

Shen Liaobai waited for a while guarding the oil lamp and torch, then he saw Chu Yuyang kicked his foot on the wall in a strange posture, and landed right in front of Shen Liaobai. The figurines had been cut in different places, and the blades embedded in them made it impossible for them to escape. They were pulled into the light, struggled and wriggled, and then slowly calmed down.

Chu Yuyang arranged these human skin figurines in a row on the ground of the tomb passage. After finishing, he took the oil lamp from Shen Liaobai's hand, and slowly poured the mermaid oil on the human skin figurines as the second lamp. When the flame of the lamp was about to go out due to the lack of oil, Chu Yuyang threw the oil lamp in neatly. When the weak flame met the human skin figurines soaked in the oil of the shark, it burned up immediately, and quickly formed a flame. A large-scale wall of fire, Chu Yuyang straightened up, "Let's go."

The merman lantern they are currently in is only a few steps away from the entrance, but after those few steps, there is the main hall. The light in the main hall comes from the dark cave grass. Dangerous place.

The two entered the main hall, the main hall was still the same as when they came, the gold, jade and jewelry shone dazzlingly under the soft light of the cave grass, but on the high platform, there were more than half of the corpses in the coffins.

The two went up to the high platform, and Shen Liaobai quickly found Wen Hao who was unconscious in the coffin. At this time, Wen Hao's description was horrifying. Countless roots in the coffin entered his body from his mouth and nose, faintly hidden under his skin. You can see the green stalks wriggling slowly.

Shen Liaobai approached Wen Hao with the torch, and at the same time, Chu Yuyang picked a few places on Wen Hao's body and made a few small cuts. As the blood flowed out, the stems and tendrils in Wen Hao's body rushed to the wound almost immediately. Go, and then it was scorched black by the fire, so repeatedly, finally the stems and whiskers in Wen Hao's body were almost cleaned up, Chu Yuyang checked it again, and gave him Xuezhu Dan, after a while, Wen Hao finally woke up .

Wen Hao's condition was much more serious than Shen Liaobai's. The roots gushing out from his wound were almost as thick as long needles. He had apparently sucked a lot of blood. Despite the medicine, he was still weak for a while. Shen Liaobai Helping him out of the coffin, Wen Hao rested for a while, and then described the hallucinations he saw in detail, most of which were almost the same as what Shen Liaobai saw.

Shen Liaobai said: "These plants have been hungry for hundreds of years, but they have only changed from the thickness of fingers to the thickness of silk threads we encountered. Obviously, they are very strong in survival. People who came in before may not escape this disaster. It is used as food by it."

Chu Yuyang stood up, checked all the coffins one by one, returned to Shen Liaobai, and said: "These coffins are not all the embroidered women from the past, it seems that some female corpses were destroyed by the people who entered the king's tomb, and Replaced by those who failed to escape the illusion."

Shen Liaobai said: "Then Hanzhang..."

Chu Yuyang shook his head, "He's not here, and we haven't seen him all the way, so go look for Qin Zhaonan first, maybe he's already found Hanzhang."

The three rested for a while, then returned to the tomb passage to look for Qin Zhaonan and Hanzhang.

As soon as he entered the tomb passage, Shen Liaobai keenly noticed that the human skin figurines that had followed him in the tomb passage had almost disappeared, and the flame not far from the entrance was still burning, but because a lot of clothes had been burned away, the fire was not as strong as before. that strong.

He was just startled, and then he understood, "Those human skin figurines didn't dare to chase after them, they went to find Qin Jun and the others."

There were only two people at Qin Zhaonan's place, and Hanzhang didn't know what the situation was. If he was really attacked by a large number of human skin figurines, he might not be able to escape completely.

Just in case, Chu Yuyang returned to the main hall and took some long-handled utensils, picked up the burning human skin figurines, and hastily made two or three torches for self-defense.

The three of them came all the way to the place where Qin Zhaonan had marked, but they didn't see Qin Zhaonan's figure, obviously he was still deeper in the tomb passage.

Shen Liaobai passed those murals again, and now he didn't dare to stare at them any longer. He squinted his eyes and scanned them, and found that the content of the murals was almost the same as his hallucinations. He even saw the part of the murals describing the forest. , there are two people wearing official robes standing under the shade of the tree, it seems to be him and Wen Hao.

"Shen Liaobai!" Chu Yuyang suddenly snorted.

Shen Liaobai's sluggish eyes finally became clear, he didn't expect the mural to be so powerful, he just glanced at it and then fell in love, slightly suppressing the panic in his heart, he turned his head away from looking at the mural.

After walking like this for a while, Shen Liaobai saw the starlight of the Underworld Cave Grass in front of him, and he should be about to reach the exit, but Chu Yuyang suddenly stopped and signaled them to move forward later.The light of the merman lamp in front has dimmed a lot, and the projection of the light hits one side of the wall, showing an extremely distorted figure.

The figure only waited for a moment, then moved quickly, and jumped directly from the top of the hidden tomb passage. Slender plants sprayed out from its wide-open mouth and nose, like several silver needles shooting straight towards the door.

Chu Yuyang calmly raised the torch in his hand, waved it twice, and burned the slender thing. The human skin figurine suffered a loss, and was about to escape, but Chu Yuyang had already lifted it up. The blade sliced ​​through its back, thrusting the torch in.

The tomb passage was not ventilated, and Shen Liaobai was coughed by the stench. The clothes of the human skin figurines burned when they came into contact with the flames. For a moment, a huge fire light illuminated the four parts of the tomb passage, wisps of green smoke rose, and Shen Liaobai Looking up along the green smoke, I saw more than [-] human skin figurines lying on the top of the arched tomb passage. The slender plants stretched and contracted from their snouts, like animals staring at their prey and voicing letters. snake.

Among the three of them, Wen Hao lost too much blood and was very weak, barely able to move around. Even Shen Liaobai could not guarantee that he would not be invaded by plants. Only Chu Yuyang could deal with these human skin figurines, but there were more than twenty human skin figurines. He may not be able to cope with the attack of the figurines.

The light of Shen Liaobai's torch has weakened a lot. He held the torch and stood side by side with Chu Yuyang. Get closer.

The human skin figurines on the wall almost rushed over at the same time, and the overwhelming interlaced and long silk threads were like a giant spread net, trying to cover them, Chu Yuyang immediately moved the blade to cut their skin, and the plants in the front part The flames burned upon contact, but when a large tangled ball of thread fell on the torch, the flames began to flicker.

A human skin figurine came straight towards Shen Liaobai, Chu Yuyang couldn't get away, Shen Liaobai subconsciously poked the torch forward, and the torch pierced the human skin figurine's mouth, the human skin figurine He quickly jumped in the opposite direction, and went to the other end of the tomb with the torch, and it was too late to chase.

Without Shen Liaobai's help, Chu Yuyang struggled even more. A little inattentively, even the torch in his hand was snatched by the human skin figurine. The three of them only walked forward a dozen steps, and they were all panting Breathing out, he stood with his back to the stone wall of the tomb passage on one side.

The human skin figurines gathered again, obviously preparing for the next wave of attack. The human skin figurines took a step up, and the three of them took a step back, and stuck to the wall behind them with a few strokes.

Shen Liaobai took out the dagger in his sleeve, pursed his lips, and said, "Fight."

The author has something to say: the achievement of the third watch has been achieved!
